A North & South Limerick

There once was a chap named Johnny,

who had quite the protective Mommy.

A cravat he did wear,

with a strong piercing stare,

though he was not what most would call brawny.

Now, John-boy had eyes for dear Maggie,

who was never too boastful or braggie.

At first she was ticked,

since a worker he kicked,

so their relationship started out saggie.

Johnny asked his dear Maggie to wed...

and can you believe what she said!?

She turned him down flat.

(Maybe he should've worn his hat.)

And then he thinks her sweetheart is Fred!

They still have feelings for each other,

despite that meddlesome mother.

although neither will admit it,

they want to get with it.

Then John finds out Fred is her brother!

Johnny was having trouble with the mill,

since he had way too many big bills.

Maggie had left town,

and with the mill shutting down,

poor Johnny didn't know what to feel.

JT traveled South on a train,

hoping there'd be something to gain.

To his great surprise,

Maggie caught his blue eyes!

From their love, they could no longer refrain.
